This one is right next to the Stonehenge visitor’s center. Also note the red poppy flowers in the center of the formation. It’s a cool design but seeing as how this is only the 2nd formation in Wiltshire so far, it’d be nice if the designs were more intricate if they’re going to be this sparse. Hopefully it picks up more in July, because ending June with only 2 formations? That’s rookie numbers lol.

Swirling patterns tend to give a formation more legitimacy in that at least it likely wasn’t made with traditional rope and boards that flatten in straight lines.

almost definitely man made but only because simple circles wouldn’t be that hard to make, but sometimes the simple looking ones encode complex geometry, would be interesting to know if this one “squares the circle” if you know what that means. but it certainly gives off an initial vibe of it being man made so still waiting on a breathtaking one that makes you question if people could have done it in the allotted time.

under capitalism or an alternative?

just reposting this from reddit, it’s not really worth watching but he thinks the reason for the low number of formations nowadays is the low interest in the public’s mind and the constant debunking and lack of effort to look deeper into the anomalous aspects of crop circles.

Still nothing for 2024 yet, seems like there’s less and less formations every year. One day I fear the creators (human or otherwise) will just give up and no longer present their beautiful art to us. For a while I thought they were building up to something (contact?), but maybe they’ve already said what they wanted to say and we should be glad we got what we got.

Sorry, focus is the one thing that can’t be fixed in post by traditional methods. AI can attempt to make it better but often times the result looks like it was obviously AI generated… since well, it was.

Kind of inspirational really, makes me want to be a good enough person so that people aren’t actually glad to hear that I’m dead lol

The remix is a legit banger

cool pic OP but why tf was Ezri included over Jadzia??

Louis CK, the only man in the world funny enough to un-cancel himself

I have a chance to see Randy Feltface live in December but may have to go by myself since my one standup buddy said he “can’t do puppets” lol. I mean I get the puppet hate but this isn’t like Jeff Dunham, Randy is actually legitimately funny to the point that you kinda forget you’re looking at a puppet.

also agreed on Mitch, RIP.

Craig Ferguson is probably my number one though. His specials aren’t even that great but the three times I’ve seen him live have been hysterical, and his Late Late Show was legendary imo, such a quick witted mind for improv.

Stoked to see this in March, fuck the haters

Just did Long’s this past week for the 2nd time, my wife had to get revenge on this mountain after getting psyched out on the trough 13 years ago. absolute pain in the ass of a mountain but a beautiful experience at the same time… we call it “type 2 fun”, meaning you might not enjoy it while you’re doing it but you’re glad you did it once it’s over.

Groove Salad ftw

Is capitalism dying or will it just get more and more ruthless until like 10 people have 99.999% of the wealth? Is there a difference? Either way it seems like humanity will have to make a choice soon whether we want to keep propping up a system that has fundamentally failed them.

Ok this season is frankly disappointing, what’s with all these basic ass designs? I mean the center of this one looks nice and wavy, but I wish we could get at least one more stunning design like Milk Hill 2001 or something that actually makes you second guess if it’s even possible for humans to pull off. It pains me to think that the genuine phenomenon may no longer be with us, and that the original creators have given up and moved on. Just on numbers alone, the past few years absolutely pale in comparison to the heyday of the phenomenon of the late '90’s / early '00s. I mean just go to cropcirclecenter.com and scroll down to the statistics area, we’re barely breaking 20-30 formations per season nowadays compared to the staggering 200-300+ formations per season back in the day. I think the saddest part of it all is that NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ANYMORE.

Yeah I’ve tried to wrap my head around that too. Like maybe if you have two people holding a taut rope and they walked in the same rotational direction while keeping the rope taut? But yeah seems like you’d definitely need something in the center to pivot around or else it would be really easy to get it wrong.

Like take this recent (imo definitely man made) formation from July 14th where you can clearly see holes in the center of the circles where they put a pole to pivot around (and conveniently along the farmer’s tram lines):

(I didn’t post this one here since it’s a shoddy man made “crap” circle, lol jk it is decently done but not a finished work I would say)
